Is AI branding backfiring?

July 14, 2025

Recent findings, including a study by Parks Associates, reveal a paradox that marketers must tackle: branding a product as “AI-powered” may alienate more consumers than it attracts.

Parks Associates’ research shows that just 18% of consumers feel encouraged to buy a product labeled as AI-driven, while 24% say such labeling deters them. This suggests that AI labeling may repel more consumers than it attracts, which is an important and counterintuitive insight for marketers. The data exposes a critical mismatch: rather than fostering trust or excitement, AI branding often triggers unease, particularly around issues of data privacy, control, and reliability.
